5. Craft and Co

Thomas Street, Dublin 8

Another new addition to the scene, these premises on Thomas Street are shared with an artist's studio and a real café – not just a machine that spews out a brown brew that you can look at sadly while you wait.

6. The Waldorf

Westmoreland Street, Dublin 2

You may have seen it on RTÉ's The Takeover, or maybe you've walked past the somewhat innocuous exterior on Westmoreland Street – but to enter this place is to take a step back in time to a more classy and stylish age.

7. The Grooming Rooms

16 William Street South, D2

Shaving, beard grooming, eyebrow waxing and even facials – this is the spot to hit up when you really want to spoil yourself. It may not boast the old-timey aesthetic of some of the other entries on this list, but opts instead for a more classical and ornate approach; and it works.

So stylish that you'll even fit in with the nearby Clement and Pekoe crew afterwards...

8. The Butcher Barber

12 Johnson's Court, D2

Set up by the renowned Dublin stylist Emmett Byrne, and nestled in that little laneway that runs between Grafton Street and Clarendon Street alongside St Theresa's Church, this spot is well known for servicing the heads of Ireland's rugby elite.

And if it's good enough for them...

9. Sam's Barbers

28 Ormond Quay Lower, D1

A family-run chain that offers all the necessary treatments from styled haircuts, classic haircuts, hair colouring and hot towel shaves.

They've five locations across the city, but this one on Ormond Quay is the one you're probably most likely to recognise.
